HYMN 349. Happiness conferr'd on the Saints.

Psalm 31.19.

O God, how great felicity hast thou laid up in store, For men affected faithfully to fear thee evermore. What goodness Lord, what recompence is wrought by thee for them That put their trust in thy defence, before the sons of men?

[verse 20] The secret of thy presence, Lord, shall those thy Servants hide, And be their safety, and their guard from man's insulting pride. And thou shalt keep them secretly, in a Pavilion sure; And save them by that secrecy, from strife of tongues, secure.

Psalm 35.10. Psal. 76.10.

And who, O Lord, is like to thee, that sav'st the poor from spight Of's over-potent enemy, that seeks to crush him quite. Surely the wrath in men that reigns shall turn unto thy praise: Remaining wrath thy power restrain••, when passion oversways.

Psalm 72.18, 19.

O Let the Lord of Israel be prais'd of rich and poor: Whose works are such as do excell, and he the onely doer. And let the whole earth generally be fill'd and fill'd agen With his renown and Majesty, Amen, Amen, Amen.
